Talamati breakaways having cub issues 

"so in september 2021 the #imbalimale killed dark manes cubs just after they were born. In October 2021 he mated with the 3 talamati break away ladies(who's cubs he killed) and they were all pregnant. In Dec 2021 the first cubs were born. And slowly the other 2 females disappeared to have their cubs. Since early January the 3 ladies have not been seen together until recently on buffelshoek Sabi sands. And today we found #imbalimale mating with one of the three ladies again? What happened? Where are the cubs? And where are the other 2 ladies now?"


It's weird he killed the September cubs, they definitely should've been his. The females were always with him at that point

According to that blurb they are Dark Manes though. 
Then again, lions don't do paternity testing. If he or the pride don't like having more cubs around, then that would be the end of that litter.

Its concerning that those lionesses are losing their litters fast though. This would be the second time in a row the cubs of all three lionesses die. 
I wonder what is causing it. Genetic defects? Lots of predators in the area? A lack of experienced mothers?

Its probably just stiff after a long rest. He will likely keep having that for the rest of his life.

Mhangenis are back in Sabi Sabi, all females and cub :



PC boys might be following them or on their trail, as they where seen in Umkumbe recently, reason for that might be  because N'ws are further south, as some of them where seen paying visit to Southern Pride and Styx Pride .

I wonder what are the chances Nhenha and NKYM have chased them from Singita?
